Abstract
The HB protocol, designed by Juels and Weis to mitigate forgery and counterfeiting risks on RFID tags, is well suited for those resource-constrained devices. The protocol comes in response to the search for a solution to improve the security of the HB protocol published in 2001 by Hopper and Blum that was not resistant to active attacks. However, Gilbert showed that HB cannot resist against a simple man-in-the-middle attack. In this paper, we propose to run a lightweight session key exchange as a pre-protocol to establish the tag and reader secrets for HB. The resulting protocol denoted Session-HB is provably resistant to man-in-the-middle attacks.
